Pakistan complete T20 whitewash on Sri Lanka's return to Lahore

There were joyous scenes in Lahore as Pakistan completed a Twenty20 series whitewash of Sri Lanka with an emphatic 36-run win on the latter's return to the country.

After losing successive T20s in Abu Dhabi, Sri Lanka played in Pakistan on Sunday for the first time since their team bus was targeted in a terror attack, in Lahore, in 2009.

Amid a huge security presence, the tourists were unable to avoid another defeat - their eighth in as many limited-overs matches against Pakistan - as Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Amir starred, but their decision to play will have been warmly welcomed in Pakistan.

In the absence of several players who opted out of travelling, the Sri Lankan team that did line up experienced a raucous and jubilant atmosphere, reflecting the fact only Zimbabwe and a World XI have played senior international cricket in Pakistan in the last eight years.

Thank you Sri Lanka for this historic trip..We will remember you for this gesture forever. Let cricket be the winner! Love you all
